abstract = {The deployment of the 5G mobile network is currently booming, offering commercially
available services that improve network performance metrics by minimizing network latency in
countries such as the USA, China, and Korea. However, many countries around the world are still in
the pilot phase promoted and regulated by government agencies. This is the case in Colombia, where
the assignment of the first 5G band is planned for the third quarter of 2021. By analyzing the results
of the pilot phase and the roadmap of the Colombian Ministry of Information and Communication
Technologies (MinTIC), we can determine the main issues, which contribute to the deployment of
5G mobile technology as well as the plans to achieve a 5G stand-alone network from 4G networks.
This is applicable to other countries in Latin America and the world. Then, our objective is to
synthesize and share the most important concepts of 5G mobile technology such as the MIMO
(multiple input/multiple output) antenna, RAN (Radio Access Network), C-RAN (Centralised-RAN),
and frequency bands, and evaluate the current stage of its introduction in Colombia.},
